The placement of an orthesis with specific characteristics which depends on the level and severity of the vertebral fracture is necessary to enable the patient to stand up. Corsets used in clinical practice are the thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis (TLSO), the rigid corset with a tree-point pressure system, and for special events is used a less restrictive corset to provides support to the lumbar region (20). The vertebral orthesis treatment has to last 8-12 weeks approximately to encourage the fracture’s complete stabilization. During the two months after the acute vertebral fracture physiotherapic exercises should avoid the intensive muscular strenghthening (16) focusing on relaxing exercises, maintaining joint mobility of the major joints, and breathing exercises. The most intensive rehabilitation phase can start during the corset wearing and has to proceed after the orthopaedic corset is removed, generally in 8-12 weeks from the acute event depending on a radiographic control and the pain symptomatics. The rehabilitation program basicly includes back-extensor muscle strenghthening exercises, postural retrainig exercises, ergonomic and balance increasing exercises. The back-extensor muscle strenghthening decrease the kyphotic posture (21) which predisposes to back pain and to a higher risk of falls and secondary fractures (22). Proprioceptive postural retraining improve balance (23-25) decreasing falls risk. Vertebral stabilization exercises, balance training, stretching and relaxing techniques are operative reducing chronic pain and disability of vertebral fractures patients (26-28). The way exercises are performed, the frequency, the length of time and the setting of sessions have to be adapted to the clinical state based on an individual rehabilitative project. Generally sessions are scheduled two or tree times a week, lasting 45-50 minutes to patient’s house or in suitable structures. Moreover, there are evidences that muscle strenghthening exercise helps to maintain appropriate measurements (in bone mineral density, obtained from DXA) in postmenopausal woman (29). In the re-conditioning phase that starts with removal of vertebral orthesis, in addition to physiotherapic exercises is basic the recovering of the psychic-gesture abilities, and the restarting of normal activities of sport and work; all for a complete patient’ social reinsertion. The surgical treatment of vertebral fragility fractures is based on vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, which are both mini-invasive interventions. The surgery treatment indications are basically a lean pain control by conservative treatment, the vertebral deformity progression and the choice of a fully informed patient. Both techniques are very useful in pain control, with an improvement in the 60%100% of cases (30, 31). Kyphoplasty seems to give better results on disability reduction, and about the quality of life (31). Complications of both methods are basically due to the medical treatment and to the happening of new vertebral fractures. Vertebroplasty seems to have a statistically significant increased rate of procedure-related complications and cement extravasation (32). Even after vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, physiotherapic back-extensor muscle strenghthening exercises with a proprioceptive postural retraining decrease radically the incidence of a further vertebral fracture increasing the time between the two events (33). In conclusion we can say that physical rehabilitative measures play a key role after vertebral fractures and beyond for preventing further fracture, but there is a dearth of controlled trials in this area, perhaps of the lack of founding for non-pharmacologic research. In particular there is a lack of an encoded training program after vertebral fracture. Muscle reeducation, resistance exercises for strenghthening, and reduction of kyphosis are fundamental elements for reducing the risk of falls and further fractures, to improve quality of life and decrease the pain. Further studies about physical rehabilitative measures will help support the convinction that non-pharmacologic rehabilitative management of osteoporosis, when properly used, is beneficial and cost-effective.. 46.
